About Opportunity
The Disability Community are urgently looking for volunteer drivers who will volunteer with The Out and About Club, Collecting young people in North Glasgow and taking them to the group and then taking them home at the end of the night. Drivers will have the opportunity to go through the Midas Driving Test which will enable them to operate buses with wheelchair access (note: only drivers with a D1 category in their drivers licence will be eligible. this usually applies to pre '97 licence holders). For those who cannot drive there are opportunities to help out on the bus. HOW DO YOU GET INVOLVED? If you are interested in this opportunity please get in touch with us using the contact details on this page. Alternatively you can register your interest directly using the Register Interest facility. Next, we will arrange a time for you to come for an informal chat during which we will give you a welcome pack filled with information about our organisation. If you do not receive a response within 2 working days, please contact the Volunteer Centre. It generally takes around 1 week after you contact us to get you started.
